The Erie County Federation of Snowmobile Clubs have set the official open date as January 2, 2023 for all trails in Erie County, pending sufficient snow cover and conditions.

For those who don't love a good snowstorm, the next few weeks are going to be tough across New York State. It is that time of the year that the cold air moves in and the lake effect snows start to pile up. But that is good news for many here in Western New York.

We are blessed to have some of the best snowmobile trails in the state right here in Western New York. The snowmobile clubs do a fantastic job of keeping the trails cleared and safe and the relationships with landowners in good standing. But if you ride a sled in New York State, you will need to get it registered and Erie County has a reminder.

Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns asks you to RENEW LOCAL!

This is an effort to keep as much as $1.5 million in vital revenues right here in Erie County. Riders can renew by mail or in-person at any Erie County Auto Bureau. Appointments are no longer required, but encouraged and can be made easily at erie.gov/clerk/autobureau or by calling the Clerk’s Outreach Hotline at 716-858-8864.

Thank you to all of the clubs and volunteers in New York State. I have been riding a sled for years and the trails are better than ever and that is due to the hard work of the many clubs and groomers in New York.
